Vikrant Massey on challenges he faced while shooting crime thriller Love Hostel

Vikrant Massey is keeping his fans on the edge of their seats with the news that he will soon be featured in Red Chillies Entertainment’s action-thriller Love Hostel, and in a whole new rough and intense look, stepping away from his boy next door persona.

Talking about the various challenges he faced while working on the film, Vikrant said, “We faced quite a few difficulties while shooting Love Hostel. Personally, it was a turbulent time for me as I was going through a lot. Just playing this character really kept me awake for most nights. Like it really tormented my mind."

"Purely because when you sit back and realise through a character that there is somebody actually living this life then it's a very unpleasant feeling. It's not something you want to sit with for long enough."

Further, he added, "So, this thought kept me up. But logistically too, it was a nightmare. Due to Covid, we went through a lot of ups and downs. I suffered from Covid right in the middle of an outdoor shoot which is worrisome as I am one of the most important pillars of the film who has suddenly collapsed, and we are on an outdoor shoot spending money by the minute. Then our director got Covid so it was hard." He calls 'Love Hostel' a "start-stop kinda film".

The trailer showed the actor being chased, shooting with guns, and having his clothes splattered with blood in an exciting and fun-looking film, and fans are definitely excited for this one.

Aside from Love Hostel, which will be released on February 25th, Vikrant also has Gaslight with Sara Ali Khan and Forensic with Radhika Apte in the pipeline.
